Mundus OS (My own OS)

[flouran]

I am glad to announce that after year of constant work, I have created an OS (more like a variation of Ubuntu), which I call Mundus OS, that is an extension to Ubuntu which is easier to use for a new Linux user. Mundus OS can install Windows programs, mount Macintosh dmg's, install the packages of other non-Debian Linux distributions, and is meant to be "out of the box".
The Sourceforge page is here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mundusos/
The Wiki is here (which talks about the OS in full):
http://mundusos.wiki.sourceforge.net/
The screenshots are here:
https://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=268055
I should note that the desktop and themes and updates are all Ubuntu, I have added my own software and some other softwares which make Ubuntu much easier to use for a newbie who is transitioning from Windows or Mac to Linux.

Note: This OS is not at all meant to replace Ubuntu, only to promote Ubuntu and the Open-Source community.

Linux Mint + Wine vs Mindus

discuss?

(not trying to be critical of your hard work, just asking the obvious question :D )


what method do you use to install non-.deb packages?
what does mounting apple dmg files get the end user?

Lol. No problem. Yes, I have WINE preinstalled.


what method do you use to install non-.deb packages?

I use Alien. But in a subsequent version of the OS, I will make the process much more easier.


what does mounting apple dmg files get the end user?
If someone is migrating from Mac to Linux, and has their files in a dmg image file, they can access them easily. Furthermore, mounting an Apple dmg is the closest thing to installing a Mac application under Linux (actual installation would require Apple's closed source APIs :().

I should note that the OS is in its Beta stages....

I answer some of your questions on the wiki for my OS:

the live disc asks me for username and password... what are they?

[flouran]

Username: ubuntu
no password
Once you have entered the username, then just press enter for the password.
